Back to Sabbath

Well, the Lent season was great, Passover was great, Easter was wonderful, and now we are finally able to be back to "real life".

We will be moving in a few weeks, so now the idea of simply getting weekly jobs done so that I can enjoy the Sabbath, the idea of organizing things here in our present home so I can enjoy the Sabbath...that is now on hold...Not that I won't still be endeavoring to set Sunday aside, but I kind of felt like I was getting a handle on the previous plan...:-) and now it is much more far reaching.

I don't know know why the timing for this has worked out the way it has...maybe God knew I was going to hit a comfortable spot and then kind of stop in the ultimate goal of getting a handle on our home, which I do think is very important for my long term satisfaction.

So now, the goals, revised :-), are
1. Get everything ready on Saturday (or before) so that I can not have stressful or distracting things happening on Sunday.

Simple breakfast plan
Relaxing lunch plan
Dishwasher unloaded Saturday night
Lunches made as much as possible on Saturday for the buffaloes on Monday
House at the bare minimum of straight on Saturday so I am not looking at a mess on Sunday

2. As we are packing, trying to get rid of those things that we don't need and that are in our way, so that we only have things that we need and love.

A plan of the packing
Daily goals

3. Priorities

Time with the kids
Time for me
Time with Mr. Buffalo
A weekly plan of events so that I don't forget things and have a last minute crisis from the week.

So, probably more later, but that is the new plan for now.
